2019 Pruning Class schedule announced.

Nicole Wells

We are happy to provide you with our 2019 Pruning Class Schedule. For the past 28 years the OSU Extension Service in Lane County has offered this training to home orchardists/gardeners, and the response has always been tremendous. Thousands of your fellow gardening enthusiasts have completed some or even all of the pruning classes and some have come back a second time to keep their pruning skills sharp! You are welcome to attend all of the classes, or you may prefer to select one or two.

Classes are presented by trained OSU Master Gardeners™, or should we say Pruning Specialists! They are eager to share their knowledge and experience with you and want your class experience to be fun, as well as educational. You do not need to bring pruning tools (unless noted) to the classes, but you might want to bring your camera for pictures. We are a hardy bunch, so classes will be held rain, shine or snow, so dress accordingly. Some of these classes are held at private or commercial orchards/property sites, please observe parking restrictions and stay with your group. Our hosts thank you! Pre-registration is requested with OSU, or the designated agency if specified. If you have questions regarding classes or locations, or to pre-register, please call the OSU Extension Service - Lane County at 541-344-5859.

Classes held rain or shine!
